Cook Time 15 minutes
Cool Time 10 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

What you'll need:

  • 2 cups berries of choice (fresh or frozen - frozen requires a little more cook time in step 1)
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds and/or ground flax (I use a combo of both)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice (a small squeeze of fresh works too)
  • (optional) 1-2 tbsp sweetener of choice (I've used maple syrup and coconut sugar)

What you'll do:

  1. Add frozen berries to pit over medium heat. Let thaw and release water for about 5-10 minutes. Then mash with fork or potato masher.

  2. Add chia/flax and sweetener. Stir to combine. Let simmer for about 5 minutes.

  3. Remove from heat and let set for 5-10 minutes. Then store in airtight container in the fridge for about a week. Enjoy!
